Motosport 1987 K100RS

Just turned over 3000 miles on the ODO. Reportedly was previously owned by an industrial designer who bought it in 1987 and kept it in his living room as an art piece for 15 years. Purrs like a kitten.

21 years old and 3000 miles?!?

That's 142.85 miles per year.

That's 3 1/2 days of commuting for me. I put 200 miles a week on my bike.

How old at 600 miles?

I'm not sure. I bought with a little less than 1200 original miles on it and I am almost sure that was in the year before I got it. It's like new...really...except that I slid into an irrigation ditch and broke the fairing. But I bought a new fairing for it on eBay (paid 250 for it in primer...look up the price of that part---oooohhh baby) and now just need to get it painted and I will be able to restore it to its original pristine state. It's a nice bike but it is still a little too small for me and I want the bars higher and the pegs lower. Ah well, those improvements will have to wait. But I am trying to arrange to get free for Gillette. That would be fun...and would more than double the total miles I have on the bike.
